My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 181

"What news?" Celeste rubbed her eyes, reading the script on the phone was really tiring.

"An actress's works have been deleted, and she's suspected of being blacklisted!"

"Who?"

"The actress who was originally selected for the role you're playing now, a famous actress who won many awards."

After Celeste signed the contract, Trisha joined the "Phoenix Fire" crew group and heard lots of news, such as the original actress for the role.

"How did she get blacklisted?"

"I heard she posted some sensitive remarks online. She's been reported several times before, but it was always just rumors without substantial evidence. This time it's been confirmed, and people dug up her remarks from ten years ago. I guess Zach might have known about this for a while, so he dismissed her."

No wonder...

She wondered why such an important role hadn't been confirmed yet, and it turned out that it was an emergency replacement. She really was lucky.

"There are so many people eyeing your role. This actress's blacklisting news just came out, and people are recommending actors to Zach from everywhere. They don't know that Zach has already chosen you. So, from now on until the shooting is completed, we have to keep a low profile to avoid accidents."

Trisha's concern was not unfounded. This happened very often in the industry. Zach had this concern early on and had been very secretive about the main character's casting. Despite this, the original actress was still caught with evidence.

Digging up remarks from ten years ago had a bit of malicious intent.

By choosing Celeste, Zach was partly really appreciating her and also challenging the person behind the scenes.

He was sending a message that even if someone else was pushed down, he wouldn't choose that person for the role.

So, to some extent, Celeste getting this role relied on luck.

She was a newcomer with no background in the entertainment industry. Even if she were targeted, there would be no impact.

Behind Zach giving her this opportunity was a huge trap. Whether she could avoid this trap depended on her own abilities.

As long as the materials at North Stock Exchange passed the review, They would make some dough from going public.

Liam worked his butt off to grow this company to where it was today, and now Shawn just waltzed in to cash in. He couldn't wrap his head around it.

Shawn's such a slick guy, going with the flow and playing the system. Plus, he was short-sighted and greedy as hell.

Since getting hitched with the Reed family, he'd always been using their name to make moves in his own business.

Investing in Smart Chips may seem like supporting R&D, but really, he was just eyeing the potential profits after it went public, looking out for numero uno.

If he really wanted to support R&D, why didn't he invest when Liam was buying Smart Chips and looking for shareholders? It was not like he didn't know about it.

Now that the tough times were behind them, and the profits were rolling in, he was suddenly pretending to support R&D. Who was he trying to fool?

Nicolas's prejudice against Celeste mainly came from Shawn's never-ending greed.
